Benchmarking Linux Filesystems In New 2.6 Kernel

Posted by michael on from the file-it-away dept.

An anonymous reader writes "KernelTrap has an interesting article about a recent benchmark conducted to compare five journaling filesystems available with the current 2.6.0-test2 Linux development kernel. The tests were conducted with a very simple shell script, mainly timing how long it takes to copy, tar, and remove directories. Looks like reiser4 is the fastest filesystem at the expense of consuming much more CPU, with ext3 trailing a ways behind."

    Where I work, we had a Linux PDC with software raid1 and reiserfs for the data partition.
    We had fs corruption and the kernel would freeze when accessing certain directories of the reiserfs partition.
    of course fsck.reiserfs --rebuildtree didn't work.
    I consequently banned reiserfs from all our servers.
